PVRI 2026 Dublin Fundraising Events

Celebrating 20 years of PVRI — and supporting our mission together.

As we mark two decades of global collaboration, discovery, and hope, we’re inviting all delegates to join two special fundraising events that bring our community together in meaningful, memorable ways.

To honour our 20th anniversary, we’re suggesting a donation of 20 (€/£/$). However, we know everyone’s financial situation is different, so we’ve included a range of donation options — allowing you to contribute at a level that’s comfortable for you.

Please note: These activities are separate from your main Congress registration. If you’ve already registered for PVRI 2026, simply use the same email address and your fundraising event bookings will automatically connect to your Congress ticket. 

Get Active — Morning Run/Walk

Date: Friday 30 January 2026
Time: 06:00 – 07:00 GMT
Meeting point: Outside the gates of Dublin Castle (5 min walk from Dublin Royal Convention Centre)

Start the day with a refreshing loop through the quiet early-morning streets of Dublin, including a stretch around the nearby park. A simple, energising way to connect with colleagues before the scientific sessions begin.

We’ll meet at 06:00 GMT and set off in three waves:

• 06:05 — 5km speedy run (approx. 20 mins)
• 06:10 — 5km gentle run (approx. 40mins)
• 06:15 — 3.5km walk

Our marshals will guide each group, and high-vis armbands will be provided.

Suggested donation: 20 (€/£/$) — with flexibility to give more or less

A warm, friendly evening celebrating 20 years of PVRI — with all proceeds supporting the Congress.

Important information about donations

These activities are optional and supported through voluntary donations, given in recognition of PVRI’s 20th anniversary and to help us deliver our work. As fundraising events, donations are made to support the PVRI mission rather than to cover specific services or entitlements.

Donations are non-refundable. We’ll always do our best to run each activity as planned, but circumstances outside our control — such as severe weather or venue limitations — may mean we need to adapt, shorten, or cancel an activity. If this happens, your contribution will still directly support PVRI’s charitable work and our 20th anniversary year.
